• When an invoice is blocked for CRP, the vendor must be notified that they have an obligation and must obtain a Clearance Certificate.

COSTARS - COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM

• The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Cooperative Purchasing Program is administered by the Department of General Services (DGS) Bureau of Procurement.

• The COSTARS Program provides registered local public procurement units as well as state affiliated entities (members) and suppliers a tool to find and do business with each other effectively using a contract established by DGS.

• COSTARS serves as a conduit for registered Local Public Procurement Units (LPPUs) as well as state-affiliated entities and Suppliers (together = "members") providing a tool to find and do business with each other effectively by leveraging contracts established by DGS

• The Commonwealth Procurement Code provides the statutory authority for Member entities to engage in cooperative purchasing with the Commonwealth and authorizes DGS to enter into cooperative purchasing contracts solely for the use of its Members.

• The goals of this program are:

o To encourage, expand and facilitate the opportunities for Members to achieve procurement savings and best value through an interactive partnership with the Commonwealth.

o To provide increased opportunities for Suppliers of any size to participate and compete for Members' business.

o To provide contracts with competitive pricing.

• DGS requires eligible LPPUs and state-affiliated entities to register as COSTARS members

• Only those organizations registered with DGS may purchase from a contract.

• Vendors can have payments from the commonwealth electronically deposited directly into the bank account of their choice through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) bank network.

• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) enhances both the payables and receivables process because it is efficient, cost-effective, accelerates payments, and avoids lost/delayed paper checks.

• It saves commonwealth tax revenue. Business studies estimate the total cost to print, manage, mail, track, and reconcile a single check range from $2.01 to $5.45; for ACH, between $.05 and $.21. That’s more than 80% cost savings.

ELECTRONIC ADDENDA (EA)

> ELIMINATES WAITING DAYS FOR PAPER STATEMENTS

> INSTANT PAYMENT INFORMATION WITH EACH DEPOSIT

> QUIT MAKING CALLS FOR PAYMENT INFORMATION

> STOP LOOKING FOR LOST PAYMENT REMITTANCES

• Provides the electronic documentation of payments from the commonwealth to the vendor’s financial institution when the ACH/Direct Deposit payments are deposited in the vendor’s bank account.

• Every ACH payment produces a paper payment statement (check stub) listing the invoices covered by the deposit which are then mailed to your company via USPS with a 3-5 business day delivery timeframe.

• In many cases, companies are required to call Payable Services to obtain this important information because they cannot wait for the mail.

• With EA, invoice/reference numbers and amounts are transmitted along with the payment directly to your designated banking institution/account, providing the information you need when and where you need it most.

• The Electronic Addenda (EA) program saves company Receivables’ staff time from making payment inquiries to track-down invoices cleared by recent ACH deposits – some studies estimate a 5% savings in operational costs can equal increased sales as much as 30%.

• To sign up, simply click this link EA Form or the form below and follow these steps

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS)

> B-NOTICES (CP2000 NOTICE)

• The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) also refers to the B-Notice as a CP2000 Notice

• B-Notices are an IRS notice sent to 1099 recipients from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Office of the Budget (OB) as a

requirement of the IRS and are issued via the OB Payable Services Call Center

• B-Notices indicate that the Vendor Name and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) the commonwealth has on record for a business or individual does not match IRS records and needs to be reconciled.

• B-Notices are regarded by the IRS as a backup withholding notice and can legally charge penalties to the commonwealth for each unresolved mismatched record where corrective steps were not taken to correct the record.

• As part of PA Office of the Budget’s due-diligence commitment with the IRS, both First and Second B-Notices are generated annually from the IRS Tax Year Report.

• This report highlights the Recipient Name and Tax ID submitted on our 1099 report that do not match IRS records.

• These “mismatches” would result in thousands of dollars per year in penalties to the commonwealth if not for the B-Notice program.

o First B-Notice

Sent the year after the Tax Year in question occurs and informs the recipient that we need their updated tax information to resolve the issue.

First B-Notice recipients are required to provide a current W-9 in response which is included with the notice.

o Second B-Notice

Sent the following year to recipients that did not respond to the first B-Notice informing them that the issue was not resolved the previous tax year and they must comply based on the current notice or be charged tax withholding in the following Tax Year.

Second B-Notice recipients are required to provide a letter from the Social Security Administration or the IRS in response to the notice to verify their name and TIN.

PA Supplier Portal

> BROWSER COMPATIBILITY/TYPES/ ISSUES

• If you are having trouble viewing, accessing, loading, or submitting information through this site, most likely it’s due to using the wrong browser.

• Due to SAP system requirements, the Microsoft Windows operating system and Internet Explorer (IE) is the only software with full functionality while working interactively inside the PA Supplier Portal website.

o SAP is compatible ONLY with Microsoft -

Windows 7.0, 8.0, 8.1, and 10

Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11

o The following software/operating platforms do NOT meet system requirements and will NOT function:

Apple operating system

Apple Safari

Google Chrome

Microsoft Edge (new Internet browser in Windows 10)

Mozilla FireFox

If a pop-up appears, choose to SEE ALL CONTENT

• Typically, IE is the preinstalled Internet browser in most Windows based operating systems. With the release of Windows 10 where Microsoft changed their default browser to the new Edge application (see next page for more information on Edge.)

• Follow these steps to confirm if you are using the correct browser:

• Internet Explorer 11 or higher browser:

Hold down the Alt and H keys at the same time

The Help Menu drops down and will provide the version of Internet Explorer.

If nothing appears, this indicates that the browser is not Internet Explorer.

• Microsoft Edge

Windows 10 operating system uses Microsoft’s new Edge Internet browser as their default browser

Edge uses a similar icon to the old Internet Explorer browser leading many users to think they are using IE but, in fact, are using Edge instead.

If you are using the Windows 10 operating system and have your Edge Internet browser open, you can still access the SAP network via Internet Explorer by following these simple steps:

Look at the top right-hand side of your screen

Locate 3 horizontal dots

Right click on the 3 dots

Look towards the bottom of the drop-down menu

Select Open with Internet Explorer

• For more information on Microsoft Edge Browser, click this link for Microsoft Edge

• Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox (known simply as Firefox) is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.

Firefox is available for Windows, OS X and Linux operating systems, with its mobile versions available for Android and Firefox OS.

Firefox is not supported in SAP and will not work within the PA Supplier Portal

• Safari (Apple)

Safari is the web browser developed by Apple based on the WebKit engine.

First released in 2003 with Mac OS X Panther, a mobile version has been included in iOS devices since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007.

It is the default browser on Apple devices.
